Description:
Began publishing in 1915; mid-level fan magazine on par with Movie Classic and Screenland. Cost a twenty five cents an issue up until pricing pressure from New Movie (c. 1932) incited an across-the-board price decrease to 10 cents. Merged with Charm in 1941, which would later become Glamour magazine (1959). -- Anne Helen Petersen, 2013.

Miss Bow is entered as one of the leading contestants in Hollywood's six-day baby-bicycle race. Pedal Your Own Velocipede Or how I became a great movie star. "My expert knowledge of horses I attribute entirely to my long experience with the velocipede," testifies James Finlayson, Hal Roach comedian. Ginette Maddie, above, quick to realize that skill on the velocipede is one of the first essentials to movie success, is trying hard to get the knack of it. Ginette came over from Austria not long ago, and is under contract to Paramount. One of the speediest pedalers in Hollywood is Richard Walling, left. When that little old bike of his gets started, it leaves a burning trail behind it. And as for Stan Laurel, right, he could carry the message to Garcia on his little machine.
